DELEGATES TO CHICAGO.
DISTRICT CONVENTIONS TA YOKED.
gfGOKfiTIONS or THE chaibmajc op the ctjutb
MCAN STATt COMMITTEE.
[RT TKLEOBAPH TO THB TRIBtrKB.1
Ai ba vt, Fob. ll.-James D. Warren. Chairman
of the Republican State tainniittee, is encouraging
the holding of Congressional Di?triot Conventions
tot the election of 68 of tho 72 delegate, to the Re?
publican Notional Convention from this Mite, lie
bas made recommendations in his newspaper, Ihe
JHmfelo Commercial AdeorGerr. in regard to the steps
to oe taken to secnre the meeting of these conven?
tions. He Mut"* that it is vloin tho R< i nblicane
of each ConaTeasional district have in their
hands the power independently of the State
Committee to act and decide fer them
aelves aa to where their representatives
to Chicago shall to chosen. The Republicans in
each district are also informed that it is not ueces
aury for them to wait for some action by th- Mate
Comm il tee before adopting nieu.-ure.s for holding
district conventions. In other words they can
make their arrangement* foi the nu-tins: of these
conventions Im lore tbe IM ste Connon tire meet*, lt
is not likely te nie^t until February '27 or March 5.
The sole task of thc Mute CliMinaatlOt will then be
tu aileat. a day for holding the Mate Con?
vention which will give ample tune
for the meeting of the Conirressional
district conventions and tbe election of their
Kotiounl delegates in ndvance of the election cf
Kotio... delegate* by tho State Convention itself.
Member* of the.1. jgis ature who returned to thia
city i'lviu then hsnaaaa to-night brine information
which shows that in several of the Congressional
districts the RepublicoiiH ore already preparing
for the district conventions, and that iu immy dis?
tricts the necessary negotiations for the proportion
of representation of each county atu convention
will have been completed botan the State Coin
mitte meeta, -dr. Warren suggests the course
of procedure for getting a di trict convention
together that should be taken in the several Con
ate*t?ioiial district*. These suggotdions will undoubt?
edly be approved by the State Committee when it
mets, as they were made after consultation with
many of its members. Thou in the form of " rec?
ommendations'' thev will probably be stated in a
circular letter addreoned tothe prominent Repub?
licans of the oeveral Congressional districts.
ACTION OK IHE MA IK C'lMMUlKK,
The State Committee will carofnlly avoid nny
appearance of dictating to tim Republicans of the
?arums Congressional diBtiicts,rec.ognizing the fact
that they are not BBsta the control ol the committee
in the leiat in making their selec?
tions of National delegates. The recoua
mendatio'is can be accepted or declined a*
the Republican vct-r chooses, They will be issued
merely tn facilitate the aoiuctiou of Ok* delegate*.
Wr. Warren's siK'L'estions are as follows:
In districts where (.'onicresslouHlConrnittees are unwin
erlsteuce it is tjhe duty of aud committees to decide
when er tho Bepnoncaaa ol tin i:- districts Acaire that the

Then-ton, Feb. ll.?The special Joint Com?

Cham Nt thus alternoon, Chalrmau UriKg? presidlmt, and
a number of railroad managers hekag present. The at>
li et of the Inquiry was to ascertain the exlstlnf state of
affairs, with the expectation of securing a ue* ari ame
rnent to the better auvantac-c of tlc Ht its <*nator
William J. isewelb rcpresei'llm; the Pennsylvn;ila Rail?
road Company, was thc first witness. Ho testified that
under the act pavd In laii'.Mhc tax was changed from
tonnage aud ir.iiisit dues, which were 10 cents n ton and
io cents a paaaaaajar, ka one-half of one
per cent, until a goaae 1 tat should l>e passed
taxing all railroad compuiie. nVka\ lu 1-473 a
general railroad law wa* passed, providing thal a lnunlci
pul tax should lie assessed on all property except the ten
acres at each terminus. The courts decided that owinR
to 'lie company's special contract it was not liable fpf
tbis; but 1he Pennsylvania Company ha* always pall lt,
the amount being about 1 per cent on tine milli'iis.
Tilers is, saia Heuator Sewell, no ililli, ultr alu.ut eh*

eeive voluaide privilege* from the Btute, and ought to
pay for them. Jay ifould ont u: ai for nothing
under our laws tho chm; rr of ihe gtnattan
Cable Company, for which he might us well have
paid $^:>,000. The railroad companies In view of
tl,la slate of facts pay more tl._n their inst share. The
Pennsylvania Company papa the Stage B9M,000oa a vsl

lo. al tax, other points $.'15,000, nnd voluntarily i esenH
Jersey City wltii $30,000 more, making lt full about
three-quarters of 1 per cert on its valuation, which ls
practically armut MBHMfe as tho avenue ciii/.ui pays.
For luis the company g-'t.s notting but curses ; and they

sugjreetlng amendments to the tariff:
I am In receipt of a letter foin the clerk of vour com

to furnish such toots lu regard thereto as the commit)**
ought to li,,\e in order to I" rfeel suitable amendments w
exIstltiK liws looking to their better administration
I understand the resolution to refer more particularly to
thc tariff than tothe machinery of administration nf thi
Customs laws. I shall therefore contine tho minarto
which I hare to offer to thc practical operation of the
tariff Act of March .'i, IMS. and endeavor to point out
some of thu dilllculties of administration connected
therewith.

mr Oongreae to declare how tba order bi walch the \uriou.s
parts or said (section '-.'. 199 Miall he applied. The
second point of controversy has been tho
c. -ret meaning of Section , ot said act. . . .
A \.ist number of appeals from the ne?en.sments of duty
made by collectors .f customs h.ivc been flhsl Ul this de
pariment, growing out of dlspntea aa to the mtanlng o'

of salr! section linties were chargeable only on'the value
of the naked bm rcbandlse itself, without rerVrenoe
Items ol expense for plactngthe merchandise in a mar

wblcb is held for sale lu siu.ill tin boxe*; mat. lies,
which are commonly put up for sule In
